Lithium Battery

Thermal Safety and Management Design

Lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, portable electronics, power tools and industrial equipment. As cell capacity, energy density and fast-charging requirements continue to increase, battery manufacturers and research laboratories need more reliable data on heat generation, thermal stability and thermal runaway behavior. Zeal Instruments provides lithium battery thermal analysis and calorimetry solutions for cell developers, material researchers, pack design teams and safety testing laboratories.

Our instruments help users evaluate thermal runaway mechanisms, compare battery materials, study charge and discharge heat generation, and support safety design decisions for cells, modules and battery packs.
